Perfectly moist and packed with flavor, it’s a great addition to breakfast, brunch, or as a snack with your favorite cup of coffee.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients
    In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed bananas and melted butter. Stir in sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients
    In a separate bowl, whisk together baking soda, salt, and all-purpose flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
  • Add the Coconut
    Fold in the shredded coconut, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Bake
    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool and Serve
    Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
